Kiyet Why at Manhattan? 


_ The Board of Administration approved the organization of the School of Agriculture at the Agricultural College in 
order that the one and a half million dollars the state has invested in experimental farms, buildings, laboratory and shop 
equipment, pure-bred live stock, etc., might render the maximum amount of service to the citizens of Kansas. Thestate 
has, in the Agricultural College, one Of the largest and best equipped plants of its kind in the world. This fact gives to 
the students in the School of Agriculture rare opportunities for gaining a practical education. All courses in the School 
are under the direct supervision of heads of departments in the College. 


Requirements for Admission. 


Young persons who are at least 14 years old and who have completed the course of study prescribed by the state 
for the first eight grades in the public schools will be admitted without examination. Young persons who are 14 years 
old but who have not completed the work of the eighth grade in the public schools may be admitted upon passing a sat- 
isfactory examination in reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, English grammar, United States history, geography and 
physiology. Due consideration will be given to maturity of age and practical experience in determining the student’s 
qualifications for admission. Whenever there isa question as to one’s qualifications for admission the person in question 
should write to the School of Agriculture, Manhattan, Kan., for definite information concerning his particular case. 

The expenses depend, of course, very largely upon the student’s habits and tastes. The state requires a fee of $3 
a term, or $9 for the school year. loard and room may be obtained for $3. 50 to $5 a week. A medical fee of $1.50a 
year, authorized by law, gives the student proper care if ill, and a phys'cian’s services without further expense Books 
will cost about $9. After these expenses it rests with the student and the parents to say how much money shall be spent. 


Some Work Their Way Through. . 
Excellent opportunities are presented for students to earn all or a part of their expenses by working during ther 
spare time. Special attention is given to getting work for those who desire it. 


Moral Standards in Manhattan. 


Manhattan takes special pride in being the seat of the State Agricultural College and the School of Agriculture. 
The city-commissioners, the board of health, and all clubs and other organizations work together to make Manhattan one 
of the cleanest cities in the country, both morally and physically.

oe 


Manhattan is well supplied with churches of almost all denominations, ministered to by broad-minded pastors. sf 
Students will find a hearty welcome in any of these churches. The President of the College and the Principal of the 
School urge every student to affiliate with the church of his preference while attending the School of Agriculture. 


Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. 


The students in the College and the School of Agriculture maintain large and active Young Men’s and Young Women’s 7 
Christian Associations. These crganizations not only look after the moral and religious welfare of the students, but they . 
help to find employment for those who desire it. 


Athletics. 
The students in the School of Agriculture have their 
SS QQAAQ] sown athletic teams and contests. Interscholastic con- _ 
A tests will be held with the best high schools of the 


XG 
\ ‘| state. Students in the School have an opportunity to 


see some of the best intercollegiate athletic contests 
In the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference. 


Music. 


In so far as the facilities of the department will per- 
mit, all students who care to do so will have an oppor- 
tunity to elect vocal, piano, orchestra and band music. 


Literary Societies. 


The School of Agriculture maintains its own sepa- 
rate literary societies. 


Personal Supervision. 


One of the chief duties placed upon the Principal of 
the School by the President of the College is to give 
special supervision to the individual welfare of each 
student in the School. All students are urged to go to 
him for help and advice. Students will receive a.

AGRONOMY. 


The student taking work in agronomy will be taught the most practical ~ 
methods of handling soils and growing crops. Hundreds of varieties of corn, 
Wheat, oats, kafir and other crops are grown in the experimental fields of the 
college. Here the varieties of all farm crops are studied and the student becomes 
familiar with those varieties best adapted to his home conditions. The green- 
house affords opportunity to make germination tests of corn and other crops 
during the winter, and to grow plants during that part of the year when field 


work can not be done. 


The agronomy farm, consisting of three hundred and twenty acres, is 
accessible to the student for work during the fall and spring terms. Here all 


Using corn is the textbook here. 


(6) 


Prize ears of corn raised on the College farm. 


the latest and most improved types of farm ma- 
chinery are used, and the student has opportunity 
to test for himself the different makes of farm 
implements. Hundreds of varieties of crops are 
grown, planted by different methcds and cultivated 
in different manners. The most practical methods 
of maintaining soil fertility are demonstrated. Barn- 
yard manure, green manuring crops and commercial 
fertilizers are used on different fields, and compari- 
sons made of the crops produced by the different 
treatments The student becomes familiar with all. 
this work in the courses in soils and crops. 


ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. 


Tae stock is the basis of a profitable system of agriculture in Kansas. The College therefore has provided the equipment 
necessary to give practical training in breeding, feeding and caring for horses, cattle, sheep and swine. Many crops in Kansas 
can not be used to advantage without live stock, and there are no crops which can be used in their .entirety when live stock is 
disregarded. A combination of live-stock farming and 
grain farming seems best adapted to the larger part of the 
state. The instructional work in animal husbandry is 
given with a view to making live stock fit into the funda 
imental principles of plant production and other related 
farm subjects. Courses are offered in live-stock judging 
in which are used both pure-bred and grade animals that 
are handled for market or for breeding purposes; in the 
principles underlying the feeding of animals on crops 
that are especially adaptable to Kansas, and in the princi- 
ples of breeding animals that will make the best use of the 
products of the state. 


Special courses are offered in horse production, beef pro- 
duction, mutton and wool production, and pork production. 
Pure-bred breeding herds are maintained of Aberdeen- 
Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn cattle; Shropshire, Hamp- 
shire, Dorset Horn, Southdown, Cotswold, and Rambouillet 
sheep; Percheron and Clydesdale horses; and Berkshire, 
Duroc-Jersey and Poland-China hogs. The herd of prize- 
winning steers gives the students an idea of the beef animals 
fitted and finished to the highest possible degree of condition. They are especially useful in the study of animal form and type. 

Experiments are in progress in which both pure-bred and grade colts are used to determine the cost of producing horses under 
practical conditions, and there are usually from 50 to 100 market cattle in the experimental feed lots, used to determine the best 
methods of utilizing the crops of the farm. Fundamental work in the relation of feed to animal form and to animal growth isin 
progress in which are used twenty Hereford steers and from twenty to thirty hogs. The students in the courses in animal hus- 
bandry have the opportunity at all times not only to receive primary instruction in breeding, feeding and managing live stock, 
but are able to watch the progress of the various experiments which are conducted especially in their relation to profitable sys- 
tem of farming. The history of the state of Kansas shows that the most profitable farms in the state are those devoted to live- 
stock production, hence the Animal Husbandry course is given the greatest possible prominence in the organization of the 
School of Agriculture. ©

DAIRYING. 


The instruction in dairying is intended to meet the needs of the boy who wants to follow dairy farming. The work will 
include the selection of cows, using the cows in the College herd for this purpose. The College herd consists of four breeds of 
dairy cattle—Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, and Ayrshire, and the highest producing cows in Kansas are to be found in this herd. 
Instruction will also be given in testing milk and cream, the principles of separation and the feeding and managing of the herd. 
Practice will be given in testing milk and cream with the Babcock tester, separating milk, keeping records on cows, and com- 


puting rations for the dairy herd. 
POULTRY. 


The practical points in increasing the profits from farm poultry are emphasized in the work in poultrying. A well equip- 
ped poultry plant is provided, showing excellent specimens of the various farm breeds and the different types of incubators and 
brooders. Those wishing to give particular attention to poultry raising may arrange to take special practice courses in capon- 
izing, killing and dressing, egg candling, incubating, brooding and feeding. 


HORTICULTURE. 


In horticulture and forestry the students work in planting, grafting, cultivating, mixing and applying sprays to keep out 
codling moth, San José scale, etc., fertilizing, storing and marketing fruits and vegetables. In the college orchard, wood lots 
and gardens the students study the kinds of trees that should go into the farm wood lots of the various sections of the state, 
from the standpoint of economical fence-post production, the proper planting and propagating of windbreaks ‘and shelter belts, 
as well as the planning of home grounds with reference to convenience and attractiveness.

MECHANIC ARTS. 


The course in mechanic arts is intended to fit young 
men to perform the ordinary mechanical operations re- 
quired on the farm, or to work at a trade with but little, 
if any, shop or field experience in addition to that given 
in the school. Instead, however, of devoting all of the 
time to trade practice, sufficient attention is paid to 
other subjects, such as mathematics, trade drawing, and 
trade calculation, to prepare the young man to advance 
in his chosen trade to the position of foreman, superin- 
tendent, or contractor. 


Carpentry. 


In carpentry enough practice in woodworking is 
given to enable a student intelligently to design and 
construct the decorative and auxiliary features of build- 
ings. Instruction and practice are given in vehicle and - — : ——— 
farm implement building and repairs. Making things used in the home and on the farm. 


Blacksmithing. 
The work in this subject is intended to train students in all kinds of iron and steel work for the farm and the factory. Partic- 


ular attention is paid to the subject of welding, and students will be required to turn out a sufficient number of welds to insure 
facility at that work. 


Cement Work. 


The use of cement on the farm and in the various industries has increased so rapidly that cement and concrete construction 
is a profitable occupation for a man well trained in the use of these materials. Students will have practice in constructing bridges 
and culverts, tile, watering tanks, and other concretestructures, Instructions will be given also in the use of reinforcing materials. 


| Steam Engines. 
The course in steam engines and boilers is intended to fit young men to operate engines on the farms or to act as assistant 
engineers in large or small plants. Combined with the practice work in the engine and boiler room, instruction and practice 


(10) 


~ 


are given in the foundry, blacksmith shop, and machine 
shop, and in steam fitting. This shop work enables the 
student beginning work in a power plant to turn his hand 
to any class of repair or installation to which he may be 
assigned. . 
Gas Engines. - 

The work in gas engines is intended to ground the 
student thoroughly in the care and operation of all types 
of gasoline and other internal combustion engines rang- 


ing from the smallest size up to those of 100 horsepower 
or larger. Among other things the student learns to as- 
semble, adjust and put into working order an engine 
previously. taken apart by an instructor. 


Steam and gasoline engines for practice work. 


Making farm tools at the forge. 


Traction Engines. 


The course in traction engines comprises some of the work 
given in the course in steam engines and boilers, and in the course 
in gas engines. In addition to this the principles and practice of 
traction engineering are taught. 

Through the courtesy of manufacturers the college is kept 
supplied with the latest types of traction engines, both steam and 
internal combustion. The students are required to operate these 
under all conditions likely to:be met with in practice. These 
engines are used for threshing, grinding feed, filling silos, plowing, 
grading roads, moving buildings, hauling trucks, and, in fact, for 
any purpose to which a traction engine can: be put,

| teres The Work infHome Economics. 


Woman should find her truest sphere of usefulness and her greatestjoy in the duties of home making. It is the right of 
every young woman seeking an education, and who expects to do her share of the world’s work, to have an education that will 
_ fit her for her work. 


In order to give an opportunity to a large number of young women, the work in home economics in the School of Agri- 

culture is based on eighth-grade requirements, and combines the practical training with such courses as will give general 

- information and efficiency. For the young woman who cannot have the advantage of a college education this course furnishes 

~ an excellent opportunity to get the essential training. The training includes a knowledge of the laws of health, an understand- 

‘ing of the sanitary requirements of the home, of the scientific principles embodying the selecting and preparing of food, the 
wise spending of money, and the principles of color and design as applied to clothing and home decoration. 


Practical work in cooking and sewing runs throughout the entire course. Foods are studied as to source, composition and 
value. The purpose is to give fundamental knowledge of foods and to develop skill and efficiency in their preparation. The 
work is based on an understanding of the scientific principles, and the instruction is no less accurate than in the regular college 
course. Thesewing coursesare planned to give stu- | 
dents a thorough training in the utilization of fab- 
rics to the artistic, economic, healthful, and appro- 
priate clothing of the body. The instruction is not 
confined to sewing, but includes a study of textiles, 
costume design, millinery and art needlework, anda 
practical knowledge of the selection of materials. 


The principles of color and design are taught 
and their application to the decoration of the home, 
In fact the young woman is taught to apply all her 
general training to the specific problems of home 
making. She learns to build and furnish her home 
with taste; to provide for its sanitary construction 
and for the proper preparation of all food materials: 
to gain the knowledge of heat, light, power and 
-electricity, which may all be used in her home; to 
study the physical development of her children, and 
to observe their mental growth and base their train- 
ing upon it. With all this, she learus to take care 
of herself, and with a trained mind in a healthy 
: body she can acconiplish great and good things”

How to Buy and Sell. 


The farmer of to-day is more efficient 
as a producer than as a business man. He 
raises crops and live stock more success- 
fully than he buys and sells. A part of 
the high cost of living, of which there is so 
much complaint, is due to carelese or faulty 
methods of buying the family supplies. 


In the School of Agriculture the young 
men are taught how to market their prod- 
ucts to the best advantage, and how, 
through coéperation with their fellow farm- 
ers and the consumers of their products, 
they may greatly reduce the expense of 
distributing and marketing these products 

The young women are taught how to 
buy for themselves and for their families 
and what relation their purchases may 
bear to the development of local indus- 
tries. 

Simple forms of bookkeeping, adapted 
to the :cusehold, farm or shop, are taught.
